Bharat as a Hindu State
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
· Where the Hindu is without fear
Where the Hindu is without fear
Where true history is told and Hindu holds his head high
Where Bharat is not broken into Muslim and Christian districts
Where words come out form the depth of truth
Where reason and inquiry are not silenced by terror of fanatics
Where treason and guilt don’t lead to insecurity
Into the heaven of freedom, honest endeavour and divine grace ,
My father ! let my country awake and march
(With apologies to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore )
· Secularists’ days as dhimmis
The secularists should recognize that their days as dhimmis are numbered. They will not be able to keep holding on to their dhimmi status—its security and privilege—against the wish of the people, while using the cry of “Secularism in danger” as a diversionary tactic. Nobody believes them. Their secularism is being seen for what it is—a cover for protecting their privileged status. They cannot fool all the people all the time.
“In its (i.e., secularism’s) name, politicians again adopt a strange attitude which, while it condones the susceptibilities, religious and social of the minorities, it is too ready to brand similar susceptibilities in the majority community as communalistic and reactionary. How secularism sometimes becomes allergic to Hinduism will be apparent from certain episodes relating to the reconstruction of the Somnath Temple. …These unfortunate postures have been creating a sense of frustration in the majority community. If, however, the misuse of the term ‘secularism’ continues, …if every time there is an inter-community conflict, the majority is blamed regardless of the merits of the question, the springs of traditional tolerance will dry up. …While the majority exercises patience and tolerance, the minorities should adjust themselves to the majority. Otherwise the future is uncertain and an explosion cannot be avoided.”
-Kulapati K M Munshi
(From a letter to Prime Minister Nehru in early 1960s)
· India and Hinduism are one
After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so perfect none so scientific none so philosophical and none so spiritual than the great religion known by the name of Hinduism.
Make no mistake, without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India’s roots are stuck and torn out of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out from its place. And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism, who shall save it? If India’s own children do not cling to her faith, who shall guard it? India alone can save India and India and Hinduism are one.
- Annie Besant
· Fight Ere the odds are against you
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-Winston Churchill
